Community Service & Volunteering
The LLS Club at UCLA intends to provide support and care for cancer patients in conjunction with the greater Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). LLS is a nonprofit organization at the forefront of the fight to cure blood cancers with millions invested in groundbreaking research and pioneering many of today’s most innovative approaches. The LLS Club at UCLA will fundraise for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society through campus events, social gatherings, and external fundraisers in attempts to raise awareness for and fund LLS's blood cancer mission. The LLS Club at UCLA hopes to educate students on how to best support patients and their families, what policies need advocating for, and how to be a philanthropic leader, as well as provide some understanding of the biological, psychological, and social implications of blood cancers. The organization aims to provide guidance for students by coordinating networking opportunities with professionals, senior members, and alumni, motivational opportunities to hear inspirational stories from cancer survivors and oncologists, and volunteer opportunities to experience the good of the mission firsthand. The higher purpose of the organization is to unite individuals to stand up against leukemia and lymphoma in a safe and supportive community. This is accomplished through patient advocacy, research, education, and fundraising.
